Sup brothers,

Trying hard with my style atm. I recently got my hair cut a lot shorter than usual so I'd like your guys opinion if its better shorter, a lot easier to manage and shows my face of better then a long fringe.

Hey man, I just sent you a friend request on FB, I can give you a more in-debth style critique there if you want. But, first impressions are that the short hair is not better than the Bieber hair you have in other pics. Also, you have a baby face. I realize you are young (18 right?) but you may want to consider growing some facial hair, if you can, to make you look older. Lastly, I'm not big on the outfit you have on in these pics. There are too many colors and the whole thing creates an 80s vibe... That being said, from the minute I spent glacing through you FB pics, this does not seem like it is a consistent problem with your wardrobe, but like I said, I only glanced for a minute.

Awesome man, I'm curious as too why you think the Bieber is better? I like it shorter as I can style it differently and it's a bit different?

I think shorter hair is mostly better than a longer style. You have much more freedom with what styles you want to wear, and it's so much easier to manage. I used to have pretty long thick hair and it would be so greasy by the end of the day and it even started giving me acne on my forehead. I say stick with the short hair, try out different textured gels and find a few cool ways you can style it.

yeah, might wanna try and grow facial hair... pretty simple take a razor and shave your face, and watch in awe over the course of a month how hair was there that couldn't grow lol.

I recommend if you shave only shave in the places you want hair though

I think the longer hair framed your face better. With your hair as it is now, it's more boxy. It could also just be the cut. Like the guys said, experiment with different gels and styles. It's also good to have a talk with your stylist before making a big hair change to make sure of a couple of things. 1) They know what they are doing and are taking your facial structure into account. 2) They give you styling and product advice on how to get the most out of the cut.

To add to what NSM said, definitely go talk to a stylist at a high end place. It might cost ten more bucks or so for a haircut but it's well worth it.

I'm quite surprised that you guys don't prefer it. The other one was annoyingly long, often left no room to be styled. This one I can do a lot more with it, although it does make me look younger, and to me makes me look more well groomed.

Been FB friends with you for a while. I gotta say, I like your old hair better, but I think if you styled this cut a little more messy looking then it would look better. Your normal clothes on FB look awesome. Great sense of style. The outfit in this picture looks like Mr. Roger's combined with a Gay character from Saved by the bell. I know you're too young to remember that show so:

Watch what you put in your pockets. There's some huge boxy looking thing in your pants pocket. Keep them as empty as possible. I also agree with NSM about the facial hair thing. Experiment. Figure out what you like. The main thing is that you feel good in what you wear and it is congruent with who you are. The more you do that, the more confident you will feel and it will show in your game.
